## This is an example rdiff-backup configuration file.
## The defaults are useful in most cases, just make sure
## to configure the destination host and user.

## passed directly to rdiff-backup
# options = --force

## default is 0, but set to 19 if you want to lower the priority.
# nicelevel = 19

## default is yes. set to no to skip the test if the remote host is alive
# testconnect = no

# All the excludes come after all the includes. The order is

# symlinks, they are not followed! This means you must specify

# get included.
